Over our 37 years we have impacted on volleyball tremendously with many provincial, national and international players honing their skills on our site, under the tutelage of our outstanding staff. Our ratio of campers to coaches is 7:1, unheard of in any volleyball learning centre.
When Madawaska first started as a developmental camp of the Ontario Volleyball Association in 1972, the objective was to develop elite athletes in the province. Over the years, our philosophy has expanded. We now see ourselves as a unique setting where the novice/beginner is equally at home with the advanced player. Whether you are an experienced club player or a junior high school beginner, Madawaska is the place for you to learn and have a wonderful camp experience.
We accept athletes, boy and girls, from 12 years of age to 18 years of age. Players are placed in homogeneous groups based on age/grade and skill. They play and sleep together and by week end, they are a "team" with new friendships having evolved and a life experience gained from having planned and worked together for the week.
Madawaska accepts a maximum of 575 athletes - 375 in the regular team (court) program and 200 in the beach volleyball section.
